Chapter 29: All-rounder

Xie Cang's words were atmospheric, and his words were even more disdainful of these bandits.

Xie Cang did have the tone to say this, don't look young, on the battlefield, what kind of battle have you never seen, are you still afraid of this group of little bandits?

It was also that he did not bring his own personal soldiers with him, otherwise Xie Cang immediately threw off his troops and suppressed the so-called Dongzi Mountain bandits.

It stands to reason that Xie Cangdu has spoken, and this matter is just a trivial matter, but at this time, Fang Jingzhi is embarrassed.

Some hesitated, "It's not that Xie Hou is unwilling to borrow troops, but this matter is too complicated." ”

"Complex? Hmph, just a bunch of bandits? Before Ben Hou joined the army, there were also some bandits who were exterminated, why, it was complicated to get to your Lingbei. ”

Xie Cang obviously had a little anger on his face, joking, but he was just borrowing troops to suppress bandits, and it stands to reason that he didn't need to take action in such a trivial matter.

But this Lingbei County Order, which is advancing and retreating, not only does not cooperate, but it is even complicated.

In front of Su Qi'an, this is not a proper slap in the face, if Fang Jingzhi does not explain this matter clearly, Xie Cang and him are not finished.

Fang Jingzhi hurriedly explained, "Xie Hou misunderstood the lower official, Xie Hou can lead people to suppress the bandits, it is the honor of the lower official." ”

"But the bandits of Dongzi Mountain, there is no need for other bandits, not only are they a group of outlaws, not to mention ruthless, but the Dongzi Mountain they occupy has a unique geographical location."

"There is only one entrance to the mountain, which has been built by bandits on the mountain for so many years, and the back mountain is a cliff of tens of meters, which is difficult for even a good climber to climb."

"Xia Guan has served as the parent official of Lingbei County for more than 20 years, and he hates this group of bandits even more, and sends troops to suppress the bandits every year, but in the end they all return in vain."

"Some time ago, I borrowed a group of soldiers from the county guard while the county was trying, and almost 200 people from the government went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but in the end, this group of cunning bandits seemed to be affected by the wind and ran away in advance."

"Unexpectedly, while the soldiers were returning to the road, they fought an ambush, not to mention that more than ten people were injured in this battle, and even the county lieutenant was seriously injured and is still lying in bed recuperating."

Seeing that Fang Jingzhi's attitude did not seem to be fake, Xie Cang was a little surprised.

He is also the Marquis of Lingdong, and the two counties are not far away, but he has never heard of such a vicious bandit in Lingbei County.

Xie Cang asked, "Since this group of bandits is so vicious, why don't you report it and let the county guard send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

Fang Jingyi said with a wry smile on his face, "Master Hou, you should know the situation in Chuandu County, if there is a rebellion or something in the county, the county guard will definitely send troops, but this is just bandits." ”

"If it weren't for the county test, I'm afraid that the lower officials would not be able to borrow soldiers to suppress the bandits, and the terrain of Dongzi Mountain is open, and there is a flat river in front of the mountain, as soon as there is any wind and grass, these bandits will slip away early."

"It's really not a cost-effective deal to spend time with soldiers to deal with a group of bandits, after so many years, the bandits in Dongzishan have grown and grown, and it is not easy to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Xie Cang knew clearly, what Fang Jingzhi said was true, the soldiers of the imperial court were really useless to deal with bandits.

And this group of bandits is extremely cunning, they don't fight you head-on at all, they all run away from the wind, and once you relax, they will find an opportunity to bite you hard.

It's just that it slowly consumes time with you, and after a long time, the consumption of grain and grass is too great, so you can only choose to withdraw the army.

Especially the bandits in Dongzi Mountain, they are almost perfect for this set, so even if Xie Cang leads the team this time, the final result is afraid that it will be in vain.

But if you say it, it is the water that is spilled, if you take it back, when nothing happens, where will Xie Cang's face go.

Finally, something could be proved in front of Su Qi'an, but it was messed up, but Xie Cang's face couldn't be hung up.

Just when Xie Cang was about to accept this matter strongly, suddenly, Su Qi'an, who did not speak, said.

"If there is a county magistrate borrowing soldiers once, Su is confident that he can take down this group of bandits within a month."

This time it was Fang Jingyi's turn to be shocked, after dealing with the bandits in Dongzi Mountain for so many years, no one was more familiar with these bandits than him.

The bandits in Dongzi Mountain have become a problem for Fang Jingzhi for so many years.

The location of Dongzi Mountain is stuck in the main road of the two counties, you can go down the mountain to rob, and you can go into the mountain to avoid trouble, and the people of the two counties have suffered greatly for so many years.

But in the end, the government was gone, and these bandits had no choice but to choose to protect their own one-third of an acre.

Because of this, Lingbei County cannot attract merchants to enter the county, and the popularity economy is naturally much worse.

What's more, because of his lack of political achievements, Fang Jingzhi has been in Lingbei County for more than 20 years, and there is no sign of promotion at all.

But if Su Qi'an can help him and destroy this group of bandits this time, then Su Qi'an will be his benefactor.

No matter what Su Qi'an says, as long as he can do it, he will agree.

Fang Jingzhi controlled his excitement and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Su, I know your good intentions, but you can't talk nonsense." ”

"Lord Fang, Su Mou is not reckless in this matter, as long as the county commander can lend me 200 soldiers, within a month, this bandit in Dongzi Mountain, Xiao Su has the confidence to be destroyed."

"Xiao Su, is this true?"

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase." Su Qi'an said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Jingzhi couldn't help his excitement and laughed, "Hahaha, it's really a hero, Xiao Su has your words, I have confidence, Xiao Su, don't worry, I will solve the soldier's affairs for you, if there is anything else that needs my cooperation, even if you greet me, I will definitely fully cooperate." ”

Fang Jingzhi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, but after being an official for so many years, he knew that he was a little out of shape, and then took a deep breath and adjusted his state back.

At this time, Xie Cang, who was on the side, also showed a look of surprise and spoke.

"Mr. Su can have such confidence, he must already have his own plan, this time Benhou must accompany him to see Mr. Su's demeanor."

Su Qi'an nodded, this was not Su Qi'an deliberately showing himself, but analyzing it according to the specific situation.

The bandits in Dongzi Mountain, Su Qi'an wanted to solve it, after all, Dongshan Village is so close, and the shopkeeper Guan died two months ago, not to mention, along with several bandits from Dongzi Mountain.

Although Su Qi'an does things secretly, according to the habits of bandits, several brothers died inexplicably under the mountain, which is definitely not normal, even if Dongshan Village cannot be found.

But because of the proximity, it will definitely spread, so instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.

Su Qi'an didn't have manpower before, but this time there are serious court soldiers, even if Dongzi Mountain is an iron wall, Su Qi'an can make a hole for him.

Leaving hidden dangers under his nose is not Su Qi'an's style, just taking advantage of the situation to calm down this group of big troubles in one fell swoop.

In the next time, Su Qi'an discussed the specific details with Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi.

As the old saying goes, the lion fights the rabbit, and it is still necessary to go all out, let alone suppress the bandits, everything must be planned in advance and carefully scrutinized.

Under the communication with the two, Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi's faces changed slightly, and they unconsciously looked at Su Qi'an's eyes, and some were deeply shocked.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Qi'an took into account the terrain, the distribution of personnel, and the accidents that could occur at any time.

Even the problem of food and grass before leaving was also calculated.

Where is this talent, this is a top talent.

If before, Fang Jingzhi only used the poems that Su Qi'an chanted in Wangyue Tower to make him feel that Su Qi'an was a talented person.

Through the military push just now, he realized that Su Qi'an also has excellent insights in military affairs.

The few strategies that he said casually just now, Fang Jing, who listened to it, didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This time, he understood why this Marquis Xie valued Su Qi'an so much.

Isn't this a proper all-rounder? If it weren't for Marquis Xie insisting on inviting Su Qi'an to go on the expedition, Fang Jingzhi would have to leave Su Qi'an behind.

It would be a shame if such an all-rounder was let go.

This conversation was two hours, and when the layout plan was over, the night on the horizon was thicker, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Fang Jingzhi and Xie Cang did not disturb Su Qi'an, and sent Su Qi'an to rest as quickly as possible.

The two of them stood in place, with a strong aftertaste on their faces, and the layout of the soldiers just now, even Xie Cang, who had been on the battlefield many times, had to admire and admire.

"Xiaguan this time, I want to congratulate Hou Ye, this time I really picked up a big treasure, if it wasn't for Hou Ye's insistence, what kind of talent should be retained."

Xie Cang laughed and said, "Haha, it is Ben Hou's luck to be able to meet Mr. Su, with Mr. Su's talent, even you can't keep him, what Mr. Su needs is a bigger stage, a stage that can release his talent to the fullest." ”

"This stage, in the end, I'm afraid that even Benhou can't be satisfied, Mr. Su is too good."

Fang Jingzhi was still a little surprised by Xie Cang's evaluation, even Xie Hou's identity could not satisfy Su Qi'an's talent.

How far can this Su Qi'an go? Could it be that you can go to...

Thinking of this, Fang Jingzhi didn't dare to think about it anymore, with his way of being an official for more than 20 years, he understood a truth, don't think about what hasn't happened.

Even if you are a dazzling talent, as long as you don't reach the last step, you won't be considered successful, and something will happen during the period.

And this matter is not something that he can think about in a small county order, the less he knows about some things, the safer he is for himself.

Sure enough, after a while, Xie Cang, who had finished sighing, suddenly instructed, "Remember, what happened tonight, remember to keep it secret, once you leak the slightest rumor, don't blame Ben Hou for being polite." ”

Fang Jingzhi nodded heavily, swearing by his life, Xie Cang nodded with satisfaction, and after saying a few words to Fang Jingzhi, he left to rest.

Looking at the two who retired, Fang Jingzhi was also relieved, but more than that, he was full of joy.

After struggling for so many years, he finally waited for a great opportunity, and Fang Jingzhi would not let it go no matter what.

Soon, Fang Jingzhi whispered something to Master Liu beside him.

Master Liu left after a while, and immediately after, there were countless figures hidden in the shadows.
